So this book takes the cake. I haven't read anything for a very long time, but the other day, while visiting a friend Ms. Donahoo, I noticed that she had a children's book by Mary Higgins Clark on her coffee table. Clark was one of my favorite authors as a teenager but I hadn't read any of her novels for about 10 years. I was very surprised that she was writing children's books and it peeked my interest. Mrs. Donahoo had one of her latest novels in her personal library and graciously loaned it to me. I was hesitant to take it because I thought I had no time for reading anymore. After all I hadn't read a book since college.
Well, when I got home I flipped open and read the first page and then the next and the next. I was consumed in the story in a matter of minutes. It pulls you along its twist and turns, through a vicious legal battle where you fall in love with the prosecutor, Emily and fear her neighbor, Zachary, a psychopath murderer.
I love how that book embraces and explains the title of the book at the very end, griping you to the very last page.
This book I fully credit with bringing my love of reading back to the surface!
